If only I could figure out why I'm so shy.... It's not a lack of confidence.. I have a good self image... I think I look fine and am attractive enough, and a smart and sometimes charming person. yet every time I go out for a night, and meet new people I clam up... It's not that I don't want to talk to the people.. but it seems I've built up a pattern of waiting to get to know people before really talking much.
I guess I'm just the "quite" type.. though to me that doesn't seem right.. because as my friends know there are many times when I just won't shut up beacuse I've warmed up to the conversation so much.
My friends have also gone on about how amiable a person I am. That no matter how bad a situation is I can always find something positive in it... They've told me of what a great guy I am.. of how more people should be lucky enough to know someone like me...
Yet even having all that praise, and my own good sense of self image.. I still can't manage to be much of an initiater on things. I really wish of all things I could figure this out, because I believe it would solve most all of my social problems... well I'm pretty sure it would since I believe it to be my only real one!
